Companion to Tasmanian History – Alison Alexander.

Short Description

A substantial book published by the Centre for Tasmanian Historical Studies at the University of Tasmania in 2005. Presumably a small print run or limited dispersion as every hard to find.

A fine copy in a fine dust jacket. Thick quarto, 568 pages, illustrated and with end paper maps. A very heavy book that may require a postage supplement.

Alison Alexander was the editor of this book the contents of which were written by a number of distinguished Tasmanian historians.

The first 397 pages, after preliminaries is devoted to an A-Z of Tasmanian History the format making if a useful and wholesome reference guide. The reminder is made up of Thematic Articles by numerous specialists … Aboriginality; Britishness; Class; Convicts; Exile; Place; Shelter; Identity etc. It all ends with a good list of aboriginal place names and some less interesting elements to do with the legal system.

All up a very useful all round Tasmanian History reference, up to date but rarely found.
